LENA — Adkins Energy, with its finance partner, CoBank, recent made a donation of $7,500 to Pearl City and Orangeville Community Unit School districts.

Adkins’ donation was matched through CoBank’s Sharing Success program to support the districts’ agriculture- and science-related projects. Pearl City Junior Senior High School will put its donation toward an outdoor school garden, which will provide hands-on learning through experiments created, designed, and conducted on crops, soil, planting methods and various components related to plant science.

Orangeville High School will use the funds for two projects: the agriculture department will purchase a hydroponic system and aeroponic system to help students stay current with technology and learn about the growth of the plant science and agronomy industries. The science department will purchase Neulog data logger sensors to conduct scientific laboratory investigations in science and agricultural classes.
